[♪ THEME MUSIC ♪] >>> MAYOR KATE GALLEGO TALKS ABOUT HER MEETING TODAY WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN ON THE PRESIDENT'S INFRASTRUCTURE PLANS.

ON CRONKITE NEWS, THE CITY OF PHOENIX IS CLOSING SOME POPULAR HIKING TRAILS WHEN SUMMER TEMPERATURES GET TOO HIGH, AND ON BREAK IT DOWN, DEALING WITH POST-PANDEMIC SOCIAL ANXIETY.

IT'S ALL COMING UP IN THE NEXT HOUR ON ARIZONA PBS.

>>> GOOD EVENING, AND WELCOME TO "ARIZONA HORIZON."

I'M TED SIMONS.

THE MARICOPA COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS VOTED TO SPEND CLOSE TO $3 MILLION TO REPLACE VOTING EQUIPMENT HANDLED BY CONTRACTORS IN THE SENATE'S RECOUNT OF COUNTY ELECTION BALLOTS.

NO WORD ON WHETHER THE COUNTY WILL TAKE ACTION AGAINST THE SENATE FOR REIMBURSEMENT.

>>> THE LATEST RECOUNT WAS SUPPOSED TO START MONDAY, BUT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

IT WAS PUSHED TO TUESDAY.

BUT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN EITHER.

BUT THERE ARE REPORTS THAT RECOUNT STARTED THIS AFTERNOON.

IT'S THE THIRD RECOUNT OF THE SAME BALLOTS.

>>> NATIONAL NEWS FORM GEORGE W. BUSH, CALLED THE WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN UNBELIEVABLY BAD.

HE IS ESPECIALLY CONCERNED OVER THE FUTURE OF AFGHAN WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

BUSH INITIATED THE AFGHANISTAN WAR IN 2001.

>>> THE CDC PROJECTED AN INCREASE IN COVID HOSPITALIZATIONS OVER THE NEXT MONTH, DUE TO THE SPREAD OF THE DELTA VARIANT OF THE CORONAVIRUS.

THE HEALTH AGENCY IS EXPECTING BETWEEN 2 AND 11,000 HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS IN THE U.S. BY EARLY AUGUST.

MANY OF THOSE YOUNGER AND UNVACCINATED PATIENTS.

THIS AS THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES HAS BEEN REPORTING A DECLINE SINCE APRIL.

>>> COSTS IN JUNE DIDN'T GO UP AS MUCH AS THEY DID IN MAY, SO THERE IS THOUGHT THAT WHOLESALE PRICES MAY BE LEVELLING OFF OR EVEN RETREATING IN SOME CASES.

>>> MAYOR KATE GALLEGO IS IN WASHINGTON, D.C. WHERE EARLIER TODAY SHE JOINED A SELECT GROUP OF MAYORS FOR A MEETING WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN TO DISCUSS A INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGE THAT INCLUDES $600 BILLION OF NEW SPENDING.

MAYOR GALLEGO GOOD TO SEE YOU.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US FROM WASHINGTON.

THIS MEETING TODAY, WHY THE MEETING?

WHAT WAS THE FOCUS?

>> I WAS ABLE TO JOIN A BIPARTISAN GROUP OF MAYORS AND GOVERNORS TO TALK ABOUT THE BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE FRAMEWORK.

I SPOKE ABOUT PHOENIX'S NEEDS, AND HOW WE WANT TO PARTNER WITH THE ADMINISTRATION.

WE HAVE SKIN IN THE GAME.

AND WE WANT THE PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO GET TO WORK MORE EASILY, GET TO SCHOOL, AND HAVE HIGH-QUALITY DRINKING WATER.

THE ADMINISTRATION IS EXCITED TO PARTNER WITH US.

>> AND OF THE THINGS YOU MENTIONED, THOUGH, IS THERE SOMETHING OF MORE URGENT NATURE AS FAR AS PHOENIX IS CONCERNED?

SAFER STREETS?

CLEAN WATER?

THESE SORTS OF THINGS?

>> I WAS ABLE TO SPEAK ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE.

PHOENIX IS GROWING TO QUICKLY.

WE HAVE MORE RESTAURANTS DOWNTOWN THAN BEFORE COVID-19.

WE NEED AN ALL OF THE ABOVE SOLUTION THANK COLLUDES INVESTIGATING IN OUR FREEWAY SYSTEMS AND ROADWAYS.

WE ALSO SPOKE ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF AIRPORTS.

SKY HARBOR HAS BEEN RANKED NUMBER 1 IN THE COUNTRY, BUT IT WON'T STAY THAT WAY IF WE DON'T CONTINUE TO INVEST IN IT.

AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GREAT TIME FLYING IN AND OUT OF OUR COMMUNITY.

I SPOKE ABOUT OUR WATER SITUATION IN THE WEST.

THEY ARE VERY AWARE OF THE DROUGHT ON THE COLORADO RIVER.

THEY WANT TO WORK WITH US TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE GREAT HIGH-QUALITY WATER WE HAVE BEEN PLANNING FOR DECADES TO DELIVER.

>> HAVE YOU TALKED AT ALL WITH ARIZONA'S CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION?

BECAUSE IT HAS TO GO THROUGH CONGRESS BEFORE IT GETS TO THE PRESIDENT'S DESK?

>> I BELIEVE THE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION UNDERSTANDS THE IMPORTANCE IN ARIZONA.

THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD TO DELIVER.

I'LL BE MEETING TOMORROW WITH TWO OF OUR HOUSE MEMBERS TO TALK ABOUT INVESTMENT IN TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE, SO I THINK THERE'S GOOD MOMENTUM.

>> AMTRAK SEEMS LIKE IT IS GETTING A LITTLE BIT OF A PUSH AROUND THE -- ARE WE GOING TO SEE AMTRAK HERE?

>> PHOENIX IS THE LARGEST CITY IN THE COUNTRY WITHOUT AMTRAK, AND THERE IS A PROPOSAL IN THIS BILL THAT COULD HELL US MOVE FORWARD ON THAT.

PRESIDENT BIDEN TALKED WITH SENATOR McCAIN BEFORE WE LAST TIME ABOUT AMTRAK.

AND IT WAS NOT HIS TOP PRIORITY, BUT THEY DID TALK ABOUT THE PRESIDENT'S LOVE OF AMTRAK.

>> ARE YOU CONFIDENT, THOUGH, THAT WHAT YOU HEARD ABOUT TODAY -- THIS IS A BIG -- SPENDING BILL.

ARE YOU CONFIDENT WHICH -- WE'RE GOING TO SEE TANGIBLE RESULTS AND SOON.

>> WE SAW THE 7TH STREET BRIDGE HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS RELATED TO A NATURAL GAS EXPLOSION.

PEOPLE ARE COUNTING ON THE CITY AND THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN DO THEIR DAILY BUSINESS.

THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO GET TO SCHOOL, TO WORK, TO HAVE THAT CLEAN DRINKING WATER.

>> LAST QUESTION, ANYTHING THE PRESIDENT SAID IN PARTICULAR THAT STUCK OUT TO YOU?

WHAT DID YOU TAKE FROM THE MEETING?

>> HE SPOKE ABOUT OUR NEED TO BE COMPETITIVE AS A COUNTRY, BUT THAT WE HAVE FALLEN BEHIND OTHER COUNTRIES IN INFRASTRUCTURE.

THAT TO ME DROVE HOME THE URGENCY, AND THE STORIES OF EVERY DAY PEOPLE WHO NEED OUR PARTNERSHIP TO -- TO LIVE THEIR LIVES.

>> MAYOR KATE GALLEGO MEETING WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN TODAY.

WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, TED.

>>> GAME 4 OF THE NBA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES IS SET FOR TONIGHT IN MILWAUKEE, AS THE PHOENIX SUNS LOOK TO GET CLOSER TO THEIR FIRST-EVER NBA TITLE.

WE GOT A PREVIEW AND THOUGHTS ABOUT WHAT TO WATCH FOR ON THE COURT FROM BRAD CESMAT, HOST AND CEO OF SPORTS360AZ.

THERE HE IS, BRAD CESMAT, THE BIG GUY THERE IN MILWAUKEE.

HOW ARE YOU DOING, MAN?

>> WE HAVE BOOMERS GOING ON OVER THE TOP OF US RIGHT NOW, TED.

BIG LIGHTNING COMING DOWN.

THEY ARE EXPECTING 30,000 MILWAUKEE BUCKS FANS.

THEY HAVE SAID ALL DAY LONG IF LIGHTNING IS WITHIN 10 MILES OF THE DEER DISTRICT, THEY SAID IF YOU SHOW UP, WE ARE GOING TO DISPERSE YOU IF THE LIGHTNING IS WITHIN TEN HOURS.

SO WE'RE A FEW HOURS AWAY FROM TIP-OFF, BUT I DON'T THINK THERE IS GOING TO BE A DEER DISTRICT TONIGHT.

>> LET'S EXPAND ON THAT A LITTLE BIT HERE.

WHAT ARE YOU SEEING IN MILWAUKEE.

WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN IN THE ARENA FOR THE PREVIOUS GAME, AND COMPARE AND CONTRAST TO WHAT IS GOING ON HERE IN PHOENIX.

>> SOME PEOPLE TAKE THIS AS TAKING SHOTS ANOTHER MILWAUKEE, AND IT IS NOT.

THEY JUST HAVEN'T DONE THIS IN 40-PLUS YEARS.

THEY HAVE MUSIC THAT IS PLAYING.

IT WAS TEARS FOR FEARS, AND MICHAEL JACKSON.

IT WAS LIKE, SOMEBODY UPDATE THE JUKEBOX.

AND WHAT DID THEY DO TO CELEBRATE?

THEY HAD A BEER-CHUGGING CONTEST.

OF COURSE THEY DO.

WE'RE IN MILWAUKEE.

IT'S NOT WHAT YOU WOULD SEE AT A SUNS GAME.

1993, SUNS HAVE BEEN THERE.

THESE PEOPLE, AS NICE AS THEY ARE, THEY HAVEN'T DONE THIS IN 40-PLUS YEARS.

SO THIS IS WHAT YOU GET IN MILWAUKEE.

YOU HAVE PEOPLE WALKING AROUND WITH DEER HORNS COMING OUT OF THEIR HEADS.

AND THEY ARE AT A BASKETBALL GAME.

OF COURSE THEY ARE.

BUT THE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SO WELCOMING AND SO NICE, AND THERE IS NO NASTINESS AT ALL.

THERE'S SOME GOOD NATUREDNESS OF GO BUCKS, GO SUNS, AND ALL OF THAT STUFF.

SO IT'S NOT LIKE THE CLIPPERS WHERE THEY WERE PLAYING FOOTBALL ON A BASKETBALL COURT.

BOTH OF THESE TEAMS ARE VERY NICE.

YOU SEE GENERATIONAL TALENT, AND HE IS A LOT OF FUN TO WATCH.

AND CHRIS PAUL REDEMPTION TOUR.

AND DEVIN BOOKER, ALL OF THOSE STORY LINES ARE FINE.

BUT I HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE SATURDAY.

TED, THAT IS A LONG TIME TO BE IN MILWAUKEE.

I NEED A TREADMILL.

I NEED TO GET ON A BIKE AND RUN A LITTLE BIT, BECAUSE THE PEOPLE ARE SO NICE.

THEY BUY YOU FOOD LEFT AND RIGHT.

BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, THIS HAS BEEN TWO NICE TEAMS, TWO NICE COACHES.

THEIR COACH IS FROM ARIZONA.

MONTY WILLIAM, HOW ARE YOU NOT CHEER FOR HIM AFTER EVERYTHING HE HAS GONE THROUGH AFTER LOSING HIS WIFE, AND RAISING KIDS AND COMING BACK INTO THE NBA.

AND THE NATIONAL RATINGS REALLY AREN'T BAD.

PEOPLE ARE WATCHING.

AND SO FAR, WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE SERIES IS WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO.

THE HOME TEAM HAS WON THE GAMES.

THAT'S HOW IT WORKS, AND THAT'S WHY THE SUNS HAVE A HOME COURT ADVANTAGE.

THE BUCKS ARE FAVORITES BY THE WISE GUYS IN VEGAS BY 4.5 POINTS, BUT I THINK ON THE SURFACE THEY ARE TWO EVENLY MATCHED TEAMS.

DEVIN BOOKER HAS GOT TO SHOOT STRAIGHT.

YANIS HAS GOT INSIDE.

IT'S KIND OF INTERESTING TO WATCH.

>> FOR THE CASUAL SUNS FANS -- LOTS OF FANS -- YOU GET BANDWAGON FOLKS AND FOLKS WHO HAVEN'T PAID ATTENTION FOR YEARS, BUT JUST IN GENERAL, WHAT DO WE WATCH FOR TONIGHT?

>> IF DEVIN BOOKER IS SHOOTING SHOTS THAT ARE CHIPPING IN THE PAINT OFF OF THE RIM OR IN THE GLASS, THAT'S NOT GOOD.

IF THE BIG MAN FROM MILWAUKEE IS GETTING THE BALL WITHIN 5 TO 7 FEET OF THE BASKET AND SCORING WITH EASE, THAT'S NOT GOOD.

IF EATON GETS IN FOUL TROUBLE, THAT IS REALLY NOT GOOD.

FANS OUT HERE THINK THE REFEREES ARE ALL ABOUT PHOENIX AND NOT ABOUT MILWAUKEE.

THAT'S JUST THE WAY FAN-DOM IS.

BUT THOSE ARE THE BASIC NUANCES TO WATCH.

IF DEVIN BOOKER HAS ANOTHER POUR GAME -- WHEN HE HAS SHOT POORLY THROUGHOUT THIS SEASON, THE NEXT GAME -- AND THIS IS A METRIC -- IF HE SHOOTS LESS THAN 35%, THE NEXT GAME HE USUALLY PLAYS REALLY WELL.

WELL, HE COULDN'T HIT ANYTHING STRAIGHT THE OTHER NIGHT.

HE HAS TO HAVE A SHORT MEMORY, AND WILL THE BUCKS DEFENSE GET IN HIS HEAD, WE'LL SEE.

>> ALL RIGHT.

LAST QUESTION, WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING?

>> I AM EXPECTING MILWAUKEE TO WIN TONIGHT.

I THINK THE HOME COURT RULES IN THIS.

IT'S EASY FOR THE GUY WEARING THE PURPLE JACKET TO SAY THE SUNS ARE HERE, AND THEY ARE GOING TO KICK THEIR TAIL.

THAT'S EASY.

I'M NOT ONE OF THOSE GUYS THAT GOES, RAW, RAW, GO TEAM.

THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS IN SPORTS.

IF THEY PULL THIS GAME OUT TONIGHT, TO ME THAT WOULD BE A HUGE UP SET, AND THEN THEY COULD CLOSE IT OUT AT HOME ON SATURDAY NIGHT.

BUT THE WAY THE BUCKS ARE ABLE TO GET MOTIVATED BEHIND THEIR CROWD, THIS PLACE WAS REALLY LOUD THE OTHER NIGHT.

THEIR IN-GAME STUFF WAS A LITTLE CORNY, BUT I'M FROM PHOENIX WALKING IT.

IF YOU ARE FROM MILWAUKEE, YEAH, THIS IS GREAT.

SO CLOSE GAME, BUT THE WHOLE DEAL ABOUT KEEPING YANIS AWAY FROM THE FLOOR -- I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE LIKE HIM.

HE IS MUCH MORE PHYSICAL, BIGGER, STRONGER, AND AT ALMOST 7 FEET TALL, AND IF HE IS SCORING AT WILL, AND DeANDRE IS IN FOUL TROUBLE, THE SUNS ARE IN TROUBLE.

>> ALL RIGHT.

BRAD CESMAT HAVE FUN OUT THERE, AND WE'LL SEE YOU WHEN YOU GET HOME.

THANKS, TED.

>> I CANNOT WAIT TO GET HOME, TED, THANKS.

♪ >>> THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN'S EXPANSION OF CHILD TAX CREDITS BEGINS TOMORROW WITH PAYMENTS TO AN ESTIMATED 39 MILLION FAMILIES.

WE LEARNED MORE ABOUT THE TAX CREDIT, WHO IT INCLUDES, AND HOW IT IS DISTRIBUTED FROM TOM WHEELWRIGHT, CPA AND CEO OF WEALTHABILITY.

TOM WHEELWRIGHT, GOOD TO SEE YOU.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

YOU ARE KIND OF OUR GO-TO GUY WITH ALL SORTS OF TAX AND INFORMATION COMING FROM WASHINGTON REGARDING PAYMENTS.

THE EXPANSION OF THE CHILD TAX CREDIT.

WHO QUALIFIES.

WHAT ARE THE NUMBERS IN WHAT ARE THE PARAMETERS?

>> IT'S AN AMAZING CREDIT, BECAUSE IT GOES UP TO $3,600 PER CHILD FOR CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF SIX.

THAT IS UNDER THE AGE OF SIX AS OF THE END OF 2021.

IT'S $3,000 -- UP TO $3,000 FOR CHILDREN BETWEEN SIX AND 18, AND IF YOUR INCOME IS TO HIGH TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE, YOU GET A $2,000 CREDIT.

SO MOST PEOPLE WITH CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 18 WILL GET A PAYMENT.

>> WHAT ABOUT FAMILY INCOME HERE?

AND WHAT ABOUT INCOME IF YOU ARE A SINGLE PARENT?

>> RIGHT.

SO IF YOU ARE SINGLE, THEN YOU GET -- YOUR INCOME LIMIT FOR THE MAXIMUM IS 75,000.

IF YOU ARE MARRIED, IT'S $125,000.

TO GET THE $2,000 BASIC CREDIT, THE INCOME LEVELS ARE 200,000, AND 400,000, SO MOST PEOPLE WILL GET SOMETHING.

>> ANY LIMIT ON THE NUMBER OF KIDS PER FAMILY?

>> NO.

THERE -- THERE IS NO LIMIT ON THE NUMBER OF KIDS PER FAMILY.

HOPEFULLY I'M RIGHT ON THAT.

>> YEAH, I THINK YOU ARE.

BECAUSE I THINK I READ THAT AS WELL.

AND THIS IS A MONTHLY TAX CREDIT, CORRECT?

>> IT'S AN ANNUAL TAX CREDIT THAT IS BEING PAID MONTHLY.

SO $3,600 A YEAR THAT IS BEING PAID IN $300 A MONTH INSTALLMENTS BEGINNING NEXT MONTH.

>> YEAH, INDEED.

SO THEY ARE INSTALLMENTS.

THESE ARE PAYMENTS.

HOW ARE THEY GOING TO BE DELIVERED?

>> SO IT WILL BE THE SAME WAY YOU GOT YOUR STIMULUS CHECK, BASICALLY.

SO IF YOU GOT IT VIA DIRECT DEPOSIT, IT WILL BE DIRECT DEPOSIT.

IF IT WAS A DEBIT CARD, IT WILL BE A DEBIT CARD.

>> IF YOU ARE A FAMILY -- AND YOU MENTIONED THE PARAMETERS THERE.

WHAT IF YOU DON'T MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY TAXES?

IF YOU ARE A NON-FILER, IF YOU WILL?

>> THE IRS HAS A CHILD TAX CREDIT PORTAL.

AND YOU GO IN AND PUT IN YOUR INFORMATION, AND YOU HAVE TO SHOW THAT YOU HAVE A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER.

YOU HAVE TO BASICALLY PROVE YOU ARE ENTITLED TO IT.

BUT THE IRS.GOV WEBSITE ON CHILD TAX CREDIT IS VERY, VERY GOOD, AND THEIR PORTAL IS WHERE YOU MAKE ANY CHANGES OR CORRECTIONS.

>> AND YOU MENTIONED THIS IS A YEARLY PAYMENT, BUT OVER A SERIES OF TIME WITH INSTALLMENTS.

CAN YOU REQUEST ONE-LUMP PAYMENT?

>> YOU CAN.

BUT IT WILL COME WHEN YOU FILE YOUR TAX RETURN NEXT YEAR.

SO YOU CAN'T GET MORE THAN THAT $300 A MONTH, BUT YOU COULD SAY, NO, I WANT TO WAIT, AND GET MY TAX CREDIT WHEN I FILE MY TAX RETURN.

>> INTERESTING.

HOW DOES THIS EFFECT HOW TAXES ARE FILED?

IS THIS CONSIDERED INCOME, FOR EXAMPLE?

>> IT IS NOT CONSIDERED INCOME.

AND -- AND -- HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO THIS TAX CREDIT, AND I'M AFRAID THERE WILL BE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO GET THE MONEY, WHO AREN'T ENTITLED TO IT, YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY IT BACK WHEN YOU FILE YOUR TAX RETURN NEXT YEAR.

IT'S NOT A WHOLE LOT DIFFERENT THAN THE STIMULUS PAYMENTS, THE DIFFERENCE IS, THIS IS ADVANCE PAYMENT FOR 2021, SO EVEN THOUGH THE IRS LOOKED AT YOUR 2020 TAX RETURN TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE, IF YOU TURN OUT NOT TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR 2021, THEN YOU HAVE TO PAY IT BACK WHEN YOU FILE YOUR TAX RETURN.

>> MY GOODNESS -- HOW DO YOU KNOW?

>> WELL, LET'S SAY FOR EXAMPLE, YOUR INCOME IS MUCH HIGHER THIS YEAR, RIGHT, AND YOU DON'T QUALIFY FOR AS MUCH.

LET'S SAY LAST YEAR YOU WERE MAYBE UNEMPLOYED FOR SOME OF THE YEAR, AND THIS YEAR YOU ARE BACK FULLY EMPLOYED AND HAVE MUCH HIGHER INCOME.

AND ON TOP OF THAT, WHAT ABOUT THE SHARED JOINT CUSTODY?

SO YOU MIGHT BE WITH YOUR FORMER SPOUSE -- YOU MIGHT ALTERNATE YEARS THAT YOU TAKE YOUR CHILDREN BUT THAT MEANS IN 2021 YOU GOT IT, AND IN 2020, YOUR SPOUSE GOT IT.

AND AGAIN, THIS PORTAL IS WHERE YOU CAN MAKE CHANGES AND CHECK YOUR STATUS.

>> THAT'S INTERESTING.

I WANTED TO ASK ABOUT JOINT CUSTODY ISSUES, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THEY ARE OUT THERE.

IS IT THE KIND OF PROBLEM THAT FAMILIES CAN FIGURE OUT ON THEIR OWN?

>> OH, I THINK THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT ON THEIR OWN, IF NOT.

YOUR TAX PREPARER SHOULD BE WELL VERSED IN THAT, OR AGAIN, GO TO IRS.GOV AND GO TO THE PORTAL.

>> TAX CREDITS FOR THIS AND THAT.

NEXT TAX FILING SEASON, IS THIS GOING TO BE ONE BIG QUESTION MARK HANGING OVER THE COUNTRY?

>> JUST LIKE IT WAS THIS LAST TAX SEASON, IS TED.

I THINK THERE WILL BE PEOPLE WHO WERE EXPECTING AN REFUND, AND NOW THEY OWE MONEY.

IT HAPPENED FOR 2018, RIGHT?

AFTER THE 2017 ACT, THEY REDUCED WITHHOLDING AND THEN PEOPLE OWED MONEY, AND THEY WERE UP SET ABOUT IT.

SO IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, WAIT UNTIL APRIL.

>> YEAH.

YEAH.

GREAT INFORMATION.

TOM WHEELWRIGHT, CPA AND CEO OF WEALTHABILITY, THANK YOU.

EVERY TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS, WE HAVE TO GO TO YOU TO FIGURE OUT WHO IS QUALIFIED AND WHAT IT MEANS WHEN TAX TIME ROLLS AROUND.

>> I DON'T KNOW HOW THE AVERAGE PERSON DOES THEIR OWN TAX RETURN ANYMORE.

>> TOM, THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION.

>>> AND THAT IS IT FOR NOW.

I'M TED SIMONS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.

YOU HAVE A GREAT EVENING.
